Description

Gender is not a Social Construct, but the titles which we give the two sexes. I challenge anyone who disagrees.

Reason:

Pro's arguments boil down to "I concede that gender roles are social constructs, but that's different from gender." Con shows that what Pro calls "gender roles" is the majority of what people mean by gender.
Arguments to Con
Con had to find sources for PRO's terrible definitions on top of his own.
